Solar Modules & Glass
In organic thin film coating on module surface → improved efficiency
- Protection of module surface: anti-corrosion and anti-scratch coating => longer service life
- Self-cleaning (cleaning by rainfall) => less reduction in efficiency (Efficiency increase by 7% - Asahi Kasei, 2009)
- Higher transmittance and less reflection: 10% greater power generation
- Coating enables use of ordinary tempered glass => cost savings & product differentiation
between premium module (low Fe glass) and ordinary module (ordinary glass)
- Eco-friendly: No need to use chemicals to clean module surface
- Decrease in infrared light transmittance => less hot spot phenomenon
(0.45% decrease in output when T increases by 1℃) => higher efficiency
Optical characteristics
Higher Transmittance and Less Reflection => Greater Power Generation
Permanent Marker Test
Permanent marker ink does not attach to hydrophilic coating on the solar module. As a result, ink is easily removed by water.
Antifogging & Haze Coating
On the coated surface, water does not condense in the form of small droplets due to hydrophilicity of the surface.
